i'm not sure why i'm doing a blog. i'm not sure anyone will read it. but never mind, i'm writing just for me. i'm doing a course online at the moment about writing your stories (thanks jessica sprague!) and i think this may become my forum for telling my tales. we have been given prompts on almost every part of our lives and history to tell the stories. so i'm going to start with them.

so here we go with the first prompt:
what colour was your hair as a child and then as an adult?
i have always had what i call poohy brown hair. i like to think it has natural red in it - my grandfather and cousins all have naturally red hair - and i've always wanted mine to be that way. so once i got old enough i started trying to make it that way, not so naturally! i have been ginger, red, plum and almost every shade of red you can think of. then i decided i'd had enough of that, so i let it grow out and went back to poohy brown. it was then i discovered, to my horror, that at the tender age of 19 i was going grey!!!!! suffice it to say, it has never been its natural colour since! i have been very blonde, and had blonde highlights. then i went red again. finally i got fed up and started dying it poohy brown, so you couldn't see the roots so bad. so now i actually pay to have it a colour i don't even partictularly like. and that is the saga of my hair - i'll keep you posted. ;o)
